Anyone got any pics of mk2 Nova's with the Morette twin lamp kit on?

Thinking of getting them, they are still available & rarely fitted. Bit different.

They did, but iirc they stopped selling them for the Mk2.

I quite like the look of them actually.

i always like the irmcher qaudlights with the i in the grill. but you hardly ever see them nowadays.

ive only ever seen a hand full of cars with the irmscher headlights! Although on eBay at the minute theres a Nova Solar (electric roof) with a genuine irmscher hand book with it and a soft top Hutchinson for sale!

Another useless fact of the day lol

They were for mk1 Nova's. Agree, some looked stunning.

that car was featured in a hot hatch buyers guide in Fast Car back in 1998 iirc! Along with a imperial blue XR2i with gold alloys and a glacier white 205 GTi

Very true! As that many have been done now things get left out etc.
But those features back then the cars were mint in and out in every way! Espcaily those Kosie Racing Seneka wheels on the green L reg, i soooooo want some of those!!!

no no no no NO!

If you're going to put twin lamps on don't leave the indicator in! Looks awful IMO!

I've got to agree with Jack. If you're going to use twin headlamps put them on a mK1 so that they fill the space between the wing and the grille. Then mount the inicators in the bumper. The Irmscher ones looked nice and make the car look very retro.
